Crochet Daisy Pattern

After fiddling about trying to make daisies for my hat, I made another but this time taking step-by-step photos - just for you.

I don't know if this has been done before, but quite probably, however this one came right out of my head - I banned myself from Googling a pattern as I wanted to see how I went with my experimenting.

You will need scraps of yellow and white yarn. I prefer the cotton yarn for these as it defines the stitched beautifully.  I used Rico Essentials Cotton DK in Banana and White.  I used a 4mm hook.

This tutorial is written in UK Crochet Terms.

So, start with yellow and a magic ring- this is simply a wrap of yarn around your fingers, and catch your first stitch into it.  It can be a little be tricky to master, but it means you can close that little hole up very close which looks a lot neater.

• DC into the magic ring 12 times.

• Pull the tail tight so the ring closes up.

• Slip Stitch (SS) into the first DC to close.

• Working on the INNER LOOPS only (see where my hook is?)

• Attach white and Chain (CH) 9.

• SS into the next INNER LOOP

• Repeat all the way round.

• CH 9, turn your work over and now you will be working into the OUTER LOOPS  (see them?)

• Work as you worked the front, pulling your yarn through the last stitch to finish.

• OK, it looks a little scraggy now so spread out your petals.

• Work in the ends, leaving one long white one to use to sew your daisy onto whatever you might be sewing it on to and Voilà!

• Make more.

Would love to see what you do with these, so be sure to send me some photos or a link.
